Nathan Joung '24 Recruiting Profile

2023 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I have been around golf for a while. Whether it was my grandfather teaching me how to swing a club at the age of 3 or me, 9 years later playing in my first ever tournament, I have always been around golf. The community you build through your school team or even at your home course is a feeling that can not be compared through any sports. The people that stand by you and motivate you will keep you strong through the ups and downs in the game of golf. That model/character is something I resemble and want to be on your team.
Challenging myself is something I do in the game of golf and in everyday life. By taking rigorous AP courses along with spending countless hours using my creativity to create art pieces, I am always pushing to expand my knowledge. In my undergraduate studies, I plan to study Social welfare while pursuing the artistic side of me in art classes.
